The Most Loving Marriage In History

He did not speak anymore as his arms around her waist tightened slightly. After a while, she could hear his steady yet light breathing.

She was suddenly in a trance. Carefully turning to take a look at him, she realized that he had already fallen asleep. He seemed to be lost in his slumber very gently and peacefully.

She watched him for quite a while. Then, she breathed in calmly and reached out to pull up his blanket that had slid down his shoulders before tearing her eyes away. Feeling the warmth from her back, she suddenly felt awkward. She stared at the faint light that shone from the wall lamp by the window with clear eyes.

There was an instance when she suddenly felt a little a fondness for such warmth.

However, if she let go of everything and restarted by guarding and maintaining this sudden marriage in her pursuit for his affection, would she always be able to safeguard this warmth?

She stared on and on until her eyes suddenly turned misty. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep too…

The weather outside was still a tranquil pitter-patter of the drizzle, yet inside the room, the warmth was dense. The dim street lights enveloped the entire Maple Residence.

For the first time, the usually cold Maple Residence seemed to have gained a sliver of liveliness.

…

The night felt extremely short. Xi Xiaye felt that she had not slept for long when the sky started to light up.

When the song of dawn had just lifted its curtains, she woke up. The man beside her was still in a deep slumber. She knew that he had not been getting enough sleep in the past few days, so she did not wake him up either. Carefully moving from the bed, she washed up, and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Xi Xiaye had woken up quite early and was still thinking about the work she had not completed from the night before, so she boiled some congee before heading straight to the study room to continue what she had not finished the night before.

Early in the morning, she worked for more than two hours straight, and she finally managed to make sense of the scattered and messy information. By the time she was done, she arranged them neatly into a black folder.

When she saw that the short hand of the clock was almost pointing at 10, she returned to the bedroom to see whether Mu Yuchen had woken up. Just as she walked out of the study room, she felt a cool breeze attack her. Subconsciously, she turned and noticed that there was a gap in the French windows leading to the balcony.

She was puzzled and quickly made her way there. To her surprise, she saw Mu Yuchen standing tall in the wind by the railing as he looked up at the sky outside.

When he heard footsteps behind him, Mu Yuchen unhurriedly turned around. Upon seeing Xi Xiaye who stood by the window watching him, he thought about something. Then, he hurled out a hand to her while saying, “Come over here!”

Xi Xiaye’s brows raised slightly. She quietly looked at the hand that he extended to her. After quite a while, she finally walked over to Mu Yuchen’s side and followed wherever he pulled her. Then, she stopped by his side.

“Such good weather’s hard to come by. Normally, neither can you see this kind of skyline in the city, nor is the air this fresh.”

He was in a pretty good mood.

Xi Xiaye looked up at the azure horizon to see a soft, golden light pouring down from the sky. She could not help but nod gently and answer calmly, “Seeing such a weather puts one in a pretty happy mood.”

He shot her a side look as he lifted the hand holding his teacup and sipped his tea before commenting calmly, “You slept so late last night and woke up early this morning, Still, I can see that you’re in high spirits.”

“I’ve been resting too much the past few days. I suddenly felt like I’ve slept enough, so I just woke up. Oh, right, this is for you. It should be useful for you. Take a look,” Xi Xiaye said as she handed the black folder over to him.

“What’s this?” Mu Yuchen looked at her and asked.

“You’ll know when you take a look. Whatever it is, I guarantee that you won’t lose out by looking through it.” Xi Xiaye smiled cheerfully. Then, she reached out to take the emptied teacup in his hand and waved the folder in her hand.

When he saw the way she was behaving so radiantly with delight and confidence, Mu Yuchen smiled. He reached out to take the file. “You’re being pretty mysterious. Did you wake up early in the morning to arrange this?”

“With such a competent employee like me, shouldn’t you feel grateful, Chairman Mu?”

“That will depend on what you’ve come up with,” Mu Yuchen said as he started flipping through the folder in his hand. He lowered his head and quietly browsed through it.

Moments after, Mu Yuchen looked up in surprise at Xiaye. “Yueying? How do you have this information?”

“Didn’t Glory World almost become partners with Qi Kai? This information was collected by Director Chu back then. Coincidentally, Vice President Liu let me assist Director Chu, so I copied a set of this information, complementing some of the things I already knew. I put this together. If this were to be sent to Qi Kai, I’m sure that Qi Kai and Yueying’s partnership wouldn’t be that easy,” Xi Xiaye calmly explained.

“Play by ear for whatever happens after that. I’ve exhausted everything.”

To be honest, she was really quite unfamiliar with Yueying. She had never worked there and seemed to have only been there once or twice. Her impression of that place was blurry.

Thus, she did not know much regarding Yueying.

Mu Yuchen closed the folder. Then, he lowered his gaze and quietly watched her elegant and beautiful face. Seeing her eyes faintly dim when she said the words “Yueying”, he fell quiet for a while. He reached out to pat her shoulder and said softly, “Don’t think too much. I know about them trying to get you to sign that thing.”contemporary romance

When Mu Yuchen said this, Xi Xiaye was startled. She could not help but be surprised.

“I heard them mention this before. They were planning that when Xi Xiaye and CEO Han of the Han Corporation get engaged, they’d let her familiarize with Yueying’s work. They were probably planning to let them take over after they get married.”

Previously, he had heard Li Si mention this, so it should be correct.

Li Si had always found it very odd. Xi Xiaye was also Mayor Xi Mushan’s daughter. In fact, she was the daughter of his first wife, so how had she fallen to this extent?

It seemed like the whole Xi family did not quite like her, but he heard that the Elder Xi doted on her quite a bit. As for why that was the case, probably only those involved would know.

“It doesn’t matter anymore. I never expected to get any more. If Glory World is really planning to advance into the showbiz industry, how about we begin from Yueying? Vice President Liu has been quite interested in this project, so maybe you can let him do it.”

Xi Xiaye was always someone who separated public and private matters. Also, she was used to the certainty of making decisive actions in a complex situation.

When he heard her standpoint, Mu Yuchen nodded slightly. “Tomorrow, I’ll gather a few Vice Presidents to discuss this.”

“Mmm, go down and have breakfast. I’ve already made an appointment with the hospital at 11.30 a.m. We have to make out way earlier to avoid getting stuck in a jam and wasting time,” Xi Xiaye said and then turned around to slowly make her way towards the room.
